I have many thoughts and ideas about Zarc/Ray Swap AU but I think the one that sticks out the most for me is the funny idea Zarc still has to summons his Supreme King Form to battle Ray, but because she likely wouldn't or ever get the EN cards she is stuck going against his ridiculously overpowered Ace that doesn't let you do practically anything except this time Zarc is in the right for pulling this shit and Ray deserves to go through it.
Zarc:thanks to my effect, my other monsters are unaffected by the effects of your Fusion or Synchro or XYZ monsters
Ray:Wow Zarc, you're such a good entertainer, this duel has been so riveting since that thing was summoned and doesn't let me do shit...no wonder you failed as a dueltainer you fucking asshole
Zarc:Well, normally my entertainment is reserved for people not trying to destroy the world and making life hell for everyone else, so though shit babydoll, should have thought that before starting to murder everyone
Ray:I activate my card effect to destroy your monster once and for all
Zarc:As long as I have Monsters banished or in the graveyard I will never be destroyed
Ray:FUCK! YOU!
Maybe Ray creates Pendulum or En Cards or something after this from the PTSD from their fight.

fae!tango for the swap thing!!!
Tango considered himself a reasonable guy. With so many hybrids in hermitcraft, a person must learn to tamp down on their instincts. And Tango held pride on how he managed to maneuver through social interactions without too-terrible incidents.
(Well -- how was he to know that Bdub's moss wasn't for eating? There was dew on it and everything!)
Regardless, Tango learned to funnel his urges into quieter outlets. Such as filling FalseBeans with fresh copper at every chance he got. It soothed something deep within him, being able to support his friends.
Only… once he wasn't careful enough, and…
"You're the copper fairy!" False exclaimed. Tango jumped, copper tumbling from long fingers, and turned guiltily.
"Who, me? Noooo," Tango said. He waved his hands as a gesture of innocence. "I'm buying copper! Can't you see?"
"Uhuh," False said, raising an eyebrow. "Buying copper. A nearly limitless resource for you. With all those diamonds you definitely have."
"Well, you didn't have to call me poor on top of all that," Tango said.
False laughed. "Sorry. But hey, thank you! I really appreciate it."
Tango meant to say, for what? I'm totally just stealing your copper. My copper farm broke. Or maybe he meant to say, aw, false, no problem! Hermits helping hermits.
Or even, just build something for decked out and call it even!
Instead, what came out of his mouth was an icy cold, "excuse me?"
False's smile slipped as she stopped, startled. "What?"
Tango tried to lasso the offense coursing through his veins to no avail. His ears flicked in irritation. "Excuse me?"
Bewildered, False just stared at him. "I just… thanks for being my copper fairy? That's it? Tango, what…?"
His hackles raised further. Tango released an almighty huff, throwing his hands in the air. Hopeless.
"Whatever. See you around," Tango said, rolling his eyes. He extended his wings and took off without another word. My copper fairy. The absolute audacity of False to assume that Tango did it as some sort of -- some sort of servitude! Like Tango was just there to order around, ohhh look at the faery see him flutter about!
Tango traveled straight to the copper farm. He had half a mind to destroy it, then had a better idea: he would get so much copper that False would beg for more for her shop! She'd be indebted to him, and wouldn't that feel awful, Miss False Symmetry.
He was several hours into grinding copper when he received the message.
[FalseSymmetry] whispered to [TangoTek]: meet at spawn village?
[TangoTek[ whispered to [FalseSymmetry]: no
[TangoTek] whispered to [FalseSymmetry]: nether hub, library
[FalseSymmetry] whispered to [TangoTek]: alright
Tango entered his astral library and felt immediately right at home, because he was home. This was his space that he built for the hermits, a delightful hub of travel, something that everyone needed. It reeked of Tango's magic in every block.
The uncomfortable buzz in Tango's chest settled somewhat as he entered the bookshelves. He considered building a throne out of copper, but decided that would be a bit much. He still loved his friend, after all. He might lean into being petty for someone else, but not False.
False arrived shortly after. Wordlessly, she set up a small table and chairs before placing a cake in the center.
"This is for you," False said. She smiled, then bowed. "My copper fairy."
Tango blinked. She spoke the words as one might speak to a King.
He examined the cake, then peered at a still-bowing False. The wrongness was righted, and Tango took a bite of the cake. He hummed happily.
"You are forgiven," Tango said. Then he frowned.
He looked at the cake, then gazed at False, who hadn't risen yet. Discomfort plucked at his ribcage. "You're not my servant."
"And you're not mine," False added. She rose to her full height.
Tango winced. "I… know that. I know that."
"Of course," False said calmly. "I should have been more careful."
"Yes," Tango said. He groaned, rubbing his eyes. "I know you, it shouldn't be an issue."
"Tango," False said pointedly. Tango peered at her from between his fingers.
"I should have been more careful," False repeated. She smiled, eyes crinkling at the corners. "Your copper is far better than any other hermits."
"It is, isn't it?" Tango preened, despite knowing that his copper wasn't any different than the other's. "Only the best for Falsey!"
False laughed.
Tango grinned, and that horrible gut-wrenching feeling finally vanished. Sure, he should know that his friends would never call him into servitude. But it felt great to be properly acknowledged.
Tango ate some more cake.
Yeah, it felt pretty great.
